name and record of Mr.. Wise, OF Virginia,
will recall to the convention with an
almost irresistible force, the glorious days
of Republicanism, carpetbagism, scala
wagism and scoundrelism in the cold
Dominion. There will be invoked graft
flying and villainous memories OF the
venal Malone and the lick-spittle Rid
dleberger. The golden hours of Repub-
lean fraud and Virginia readjustment
will once more shine forth. The mem
hers of the convention will again look
fondiy upon the treacherous details of the
disgraceful conspiracy by which
the carpetbaggers and scalawags Of
Virginia, backed by the National
Republican party, succeeded in plunder-
ing the State treasury, and in fastening
reputation upon the glorious old COM
monwealth itself. The Convention will
remember the time when legislation and
aud, government and corruption, were
Synonymous terms in Virginia. When
the Republicans and renegades held
complete control of the entire political
machinery OF the State. When both
of its Senators were Republicans. When
its Supreme Court was a Republican
tool. When legislature after legis-
lature was Republican on joint
ballot. When Republicanism inspired,
secured and cemented the supremacy Of
the dregs of the people. When educa-
ton was antagonized and ignorance fos.
tered. When the grand old State lived
in an atmosphere of Republicanism and
corruption was in every breath she drew.
These were the happy times in which
Mr.. Wise Of Virginia made his Repub.
lican record. These were the halcyon
days in which Mr.. Wise wrote himself
down as Republican and scalawag.
Well may Mr.. Sherman's friends trem-
BILE! Mr.. Wise of Virginia has thrust
his political plow deep in that very field
of carpetbaggery, to the jealous cultiva-
tionof which Mr.. Sherman owes his sue
as Republican politician. The friends
of Mr.. Sherman had better lose no time
in quarantining againt Mr.. Wise, of Vir-
ginia. AS a putrid Republican remin-
iscence the name and record of Mr.. Wise,
of Virginia, might have a SAVIOR as over
powering as grateful. The Republican
National Convention might nominate the
Virginia clark" horse by acclamation.

The German papers are very indignant
over the action of Russia in claiming
(and getting) Russian taxes on certain
German frontier soil. The gutteral Ger
man growl is probably the only action
Germany will take in the matter. The
Russian bear takes a mouthful nowaday
with no regard for anything but his ap-
petite, and even a German dish is not
likely to seriously disagree with him.

The Republican organ has renewed its
vile filings at the Presidents sister.
There is nothing on earth nor in heaven,
no relationship in life, no family ties, too
sacred to avert from man, woman or
child, the venom of that sheet, when
blinded, like a rattlesnake in August,
with the partisan poison engendered by
its own vicious nature.

Reducing their Weight.

Getting rid of the surplus flesh that
keeps him from riding is not the pleas
antcst task for jockey, especially if ne
has been in the saddle several years, like
Fitzpatrick, who is the heavyweight
among the riders in the East. 1t is not
only difficult, but extremely dangerous,
and it is the more so when it is done
over night to get down to the minimum
weight for next day mount. Two or
three years ago Mclaughlin reduced his
flesh nine pounds in one day in order to
ride in great match race. That was
when he was young, though, and will
ling to make any sacrifice to win such
an event. lie could not stand such
physical exhaustion today.
Bobby Swim, who was the greatest
Jockey on the American turf ten or q
dozen years ago, reduced his weight
eleven pounds in one night when he was
riding on the Mobile, Ala, course.
Swim was riding for Price McGrath,
who was known as the Irish Prince
from the fact that he always appeared at
the Lexington track on opening day IN
suit of green broadcloth. Swim became
dissipated, and when the great race be-
tween Ma jor Thomas Himyar and Cam
mie F. was run, Swim was refused the
mount on Himyar. He thereupon went
to the owners of Cammie F. and offered
to ride that horse for nothing if he lost
and $500 if he won. This was the day
before the race, and the jockey would
have to reduce his weight eleven pounds
to ride Cammie F., but nothing daunt-
ed the "jock" set about the work, his
offer being gladly accepted. That night
Swim was rolled in three heavy blankets,
after having taken previously Turkish
bath. Then ho was laid out for the
greater part of the night before blaz-
ing wood fire, and swcated till the
blankets had to be changed. In the
morning he was given another Turkish
bath. When he entered the paddock
he was so weak he had to be supported
to the saddle. He won on Cammle F.,
finishing length before Himyar, who
had been o heavy favorite. That was
Swim's last great race, for he went to
the dogs shortly after. through drink.

the right place. Jacques, on his side
felt himself more than interested in the
beautiful and sweet girl that had so
kindly paid attention to him, but as he
knew her to be very rich, his demeanor
was always so respectful that no word
of love ever passed between them"
"And STILL"
"Of course, everything had to come
out all right in the end. Here is the
natural winding up of the comedy. The
first time that NJ. and Nine. Bondurand
communicated to each other their de-
signs in regard to their daughter there
was terrible row. Just think. Mon
sieur wanted Chapuis for his son-in-law.
Madame could not bear him; he was a
baboon, Chinaman, a miser; he was
ugly, deformed, ill-bred, badly dressed,
unkempt and ridiculous. Madame
wanted de Vauvilian, whom Monsieur
held in holy horror. A snob, talker,
a boaster, BOBBY, an ass; noble, it was
true, but a wretched beggar who had to
depend entirely on his situation.
'They could not agree, then2"
"Of course not. 'Vauvilain, never 7
exclaimed NJ. Bondurand. 'Chapuis,
replied his wife, I'll die frstP
"It was at this point that Mile. Ce-
leste took hand in the game. Shetold
her father that she loEed NJ. Jacques
Florent, that NJ. Florent loved her, that
she would be his wife or else she would
marry de Vauvilain. She said the samo
to her mother, only the conditions were:
Jacques or Chapuis, Neither hesitated:
In order to get rid of the one each hated
so much, both consented. The game
was won.
tOf course tho engineer was expect
ing affairs to take this turn2'
'.Not at all; but Mile. Celeste had
been astute enough to foresee that
there was no opposition to be dreaded
from that quarter. She had her father
to call on him, and need not say that
the worthy young fellows surprise
was as great as his joy. You can un-
derstand that he accepted the offer
eagerly, his only condition being that,
at the wedding, the place of honor
would be given to his mother. You
have seen, yourself, that his wish was
granted.
"Now, if you want to know why the
whole town attended the wedding, l
must say it is because everybody likes
Jacques. And" added Father Philip,
with cunning smile, if must tell all,
you should remember that we are in the
country, and we have had nothing else
to talk of during the past three
months."- From the French.

Truman Bradley, of Birmingham,
Conn.,, claims to be the last of the noble
tribe of Pequots, famous in early colonial
history. His occupation is that of a
clam pcddlar. He is not full-blooded,
but says he is thirds Indian. His
appearance substantiates his assertion.
He stands over six feet tall, is straight,
broad-shouldered and bronzed to cop
perry hue. His eyes are black and deep
set. His cheek bones are prominent, his
jaws strong and powerful, his forehead
low and broad, his hair gray and he has
no beard. He says that he is the sole
heir of the Pequots, and there is $1,000
held in trust for them, which is now in
the hands of a trustee, appointed by the
Judge Of the Superior Court of Litch-
field County. He will apply to the next
Legislature for the $1,000, submitting
his proofs for the inspection of the COM
mittee having the matter in charge.

A Great Help to the Speaker.

"Harry" Smith came in with the
XLIst Congress, and holds the position
of "Journal Clerk" / have no doubt
that he can retain it as long as he chooses.
He has made place of his own, and it IS
no idle statement to say that there is not
a man in the country to-day who could
fill it, should he retire. The ebb of the
Republican and the flow of the Demo-
cratic majorities sweep other officials out
into the cold, cold world. Mr.. Smith
alone remains an unconcerncd observer
of the fights of factions and the bitter
controversies of parties. I have never
been able to ascertain whether he is =
Republican or Democrat.
MIR. Smith is retained in his position, to
prompt the Speaker on all questions of
parliamentary law and practice. In the
midst of squabble, while both sides arc
doing Their best to carry point, the
Speaker may lose his head, and in the
scores of precedents thrown at him may,
for the moment, be thoroughly ''rattlcd."
It is then that Mr.. Smith proves himself y
master of the situation. Selling his
manualhc rapidly turns to the exact place
which will solve the question beyond the
shadow of doubt. Thus armed the
Speaker almost always succeeds with the
array of rules and practice, furnished by
Mr.. Smith, in tumbling over ordemolish-
ing all the pretty structures of mingled
fancy and logic which the members have
been building about them. Speaker Car,
Isle relies upon Mr. Smiths Judgment and
knowledge almost implicitly. as did his
predecessor; and it is probable that por-
tion of the long line of Speakers to come
will do the same thing, whether they be
Republicans or Democrats. Mr.. Smiths
native of New York, I believe, but his
present home is in Michigan. He served
with distinction during the war in one of
the Michigan regiments. but nobody ad-
dresses him as HColoncl." He is simple
"Harry" Smith to his friends, and of the
latter there are legions. ."-AeD York

correspondent from Tien-Tsin,

A correspondent from Tien-Tsin,
China, speaks of the eager curiosity OF
the natives at the appearance of foreign
ers among them, and relates the follow
ing incident: "In one store, where we
were brought to bay by mob of stolid,
silent starers, who stood fifteen and
twenty deep. with the last men climbing
on the shoulders of those in front Of
them, we sat down overpowered by the
continued ovation. The audience were
all men, tall, brawny fellows, bare
headed, stripped to the waist. While
they stood gaping in silence, broad
chested Hercules, with the countenance
of Roman Senator, suddenly attacked
the crowd from the rear and beat his
way to the front with so much bluster
and apparent indignation in his tones
that we felt that here Mt last was dellv-
creg, some one in authority, who would
drive off the crowd. That man Iproved
the greatest fraud of all, for after all his
browbeating and cutting he planted him
self in the very front row and stared
harder than any of them.

A Trinity.

Sweet Faith is like the daisy bright,
With heart of gold and petal white,
That blooms from morn until the night,
And wakes from day to day,
Each year, from spring till winters gloom,
Then only sleeps again to bloom
And cheer life's rugged way.
Fair Hope is like the cedar tree;
No matter what the season be,
Its verdure we may ever see,
It tells us constantly
Though faded are the wayside flowers,
Though lonely are the wintry hours
Of Immortality.
But Love. tho greatest Of them all,
Blooms winter summer, spring and fall,
Nor night nor death its strength appal
Through all eternity. :,
All flowers of its beauties toll
A perfect trinity >,

The Land Of tho Midnight Sun.

The inhabitant of a southern country
can with difficulty comprehend how
fully the shortness of the winter day in
the far north is compensated by the
extreme duration of daylight in summer.
As we steamed up the harbor of Christi
ana at noon on bright June day, 1t
seemed like the entrance into dream
land. The sensation of seeing the sun
low on the horizon at midday, and
finding it scarcely lower at in the
evening, is far more easily remembered
than described. The towers of Christi
ana always cast long shadows, and the
dreamy feeling is only intensified when
the sun persists for hours in staying
above the horizon until, at 10 o'clock,
YOU can still see the men and boys play
ing games in the fields. Bedtime is q
movable feast to the native in the sum-
mer season, and comes not at all to the
visitor unless he darkens lis windows
and persuades himself that it ought to
be night if it is not.-Seribner's Naga-

Professor Putnam, of Cambridge,
Mass, has been engaged in archeologi-
cal research in Ohio. From the fund OF
the Peabody Museum, sixty acres of land
have recently been purchased in Adams
county, and four men have been at work
clearing, fencing, erecting guide boards,
and otherwise taking measures to pro-
tect and preserve the field as relic OF
antiquity. They have this season re-
stored the serpent mound, which is one
fourth of a mile long, and from two to
five feet high, and also excavated conf
cal mound 10 feet high, 60 feet base,
finding skeleton of one of the mound
builders and several Iof later age, all
in good state of preservation. Scat
tered through this mound were stone
axes, copper celts and various imple,
mcnts used by that primitive people.

The Fish Commission steamer Al
batross has sailed from the Navy Yard in
Washington on a cruise of three years in
the waters of the Pacific Ocean. She
has for several years past been employed
in investigating the deep sea fisheries OF
the Atlantic coast, and will now be
utilized in similar work in the Pacific
Ocean. She has been thoroughly
equipped with scientific apparatus, and
it is expected that the voyage will be of
great practical value. The cruise around
Cape Horn to California will occupy
about six months, as the vessel will make
frequent stops to enable the scientists of
the expedition to gather geological, bo-
tanical and geological specimens: The
Albatross, though Fish Commission
steamer, is officered and manned by the
Navy. She is in charge of Lieutenant
Commander Zera l.. Tanner, with Lieu
tenant Howard Waring as executive
officer and navigator. The scientists
aboard are Professor Leslie A. Lee, of
Bowdoin College. who goes as chief
naturalist; Mr.. Thomas Lee, who has
been engaged ON the deep sea work OF the
Fish Commission for a long time, and
Mr.. G. H. Townsend.
